According to recent studies, Americans' receive most of their disease fighting antioxidants from a somewhat surprising source: coffee.

When snow flies, salads get substantial

Eating a salad a day is a habit I adopted a while back to help me automate the eating of raw veggies. Either my lunch or my dinner usually is built around some sort of salad. And I try to stay true to the spirit of healthier eating when I do so. Meaning fried chicken tenders propped on top of a bed of greens doesn't quite cut it.

Waking up to wellness

MaryJane's Everyday Organic

While perusing the health news segment in a popular magazine recently, I found myself cringing at the headlines. Insurance, radiation, prescription drugs and myriad gloom-and-doom medical findings - the topics sent shivers down my spine! How, I wondered, is any of this "health" news? Even as our collective consciousness is blooming with enthusiasm for more nutritious food, safer homes and healthier habits, it seems that an alarming number of people are still outsourcing the care of their bodies to the medical industry. In large part, it's a matter of convenience. Instead of investing time and effort into restoring one's natural health, it's easier to ask a doctor to prescribe one (or more) of the many pills touted as quick cures. I think there is also a significant fear factor involved here. Over the past century or so, modern medicine has managed to convince us that physicians hold the key to creating wellness, and if the average Jane wants access to her own health, she must come crawling into the doctor's office with her pocketbook open for business.
